Sorry for just jumping in after months away.  I do check the Beak room from time to time, but I lack the time and the energy to keep up with such a prolific group.  I have continued to monitor the local peregrine cams, but I have significantly cut back the number of hours I devote to it.  I am not getting any younger.  My eyes tire very quickly.  I would rather reduce my involvement than try to keep up and miss something important and let my group down.  It was a nightmare year this year with all the wild fires and smoke, heat and drought.  We had takeovers and challenges,  sometimes as many as four at most of the sites.  Two of our oldest sites had no eggs at all. At one, no birds returned and no new ones appeared, at the other, our 17 year old female came late and took up with a very young male.  They remained the resident pair until migration, but did not produce offspring this year.  At 2 other sites, we lost 4 chicks in all, 2 to disease and 2 to weather.  And at the other three nests, we lost track of 2 fledglings and rescued 3 or 4 others.  I think we only witnessed 4 possibly successful fledges.   My numbers could be off, it was very busy and mind-numbing. 

As for my avatar, I got it up with the help of Eagle Duck.  I lost it when his family closed down his site.  I tried a couple of times to get it back up using a google url, but lost it again  often after just a few days.  I decided it wasn’t worth the irritation.  I seem to spend a way to much time keeping up with my digital world these days.  What with non stop updates and upgrades I am forever in a fog looking for parts of programs that move around and come and go, work and don’t work.   I swear this is an intentional move by techies that use it to ensure their continued employment.

And with this, I end my whiny post.  If I don’t have anything a little more upbeat to offer, i will stay quiet and just read.

Emy, what a terrible year!  I can understand your limiting your time due to sging eyes!   I am there!  Any way, thanks for the heartbreaking report and do stop in when you have time!

[Eagles4evr1116]

LisaG - That is so special that you are planning to have a room for Sydney.  It won't be long until she becomes familiar with her room and will love it and she will have wonderful memories of coming over to her Grandparent's house!!

Hi Puff!

Tsk - Glad Tim is doing good.  How are Tom & Barb?   Bet it felt good to have your hair cut.  Probably good that you wore a mask.

Tig - Loved your Dad's jokes!!!! Lol!!!!

Bazi - You make delicious meals - and that is great that you make enough for at least a couple of more dinners!

Lori - Awe, so sad - prayers for Andria - I truly hope she makes it.

Phyl - You will find a way to shampoo your hair.  No doubt you will figure it out.

Og - Thank you for links!

Emy - Thank you for your knowledge of all the different nests you've kept track of.  Eagle Duck had helped me with several Avatars too.  Then, after he sadly passed,  I had to get a different one.   I think E-D actually helped me with at least 3 or 4 of my previous Avatars. 

Karen - Hope you & Piper are doing good tonight.  Did Piper finally 'accept' your Christmas decorations?

Beakers have a good night & sleep well.

[Lani]

Hi Beakers
I hope you all are well and had a good day.
For me it was a long one and I'll say good night.
And catch up with you in the morning. 

Good night!

Good Morning Beakers....It's Caturday!!!!!!


Just wanted to say, Good morning and hope everyone has a great Caturday. We are heading out shortly.  Will check back in later tonight, or tomorrow morning.

T40 - Thanks for the videos, will save those for later.

Lani - Hope your long day was a good one. 

E4E - Love that Christmas pic from last night.

Phyl - Thanks for the RRP post, and so sad about Ryan O'Neal.

Lori - I am glad you are not going to watch, but are going to keep us updated.  I don't think I want to watch the videos either.

oldguy - We are going to be in the 50's today too, with that expected major weather event tomorrow.  It is going to make for a nasty moving day.   Thanks for the videos.

tsk - Oh yikes...I do hope the mask helped.  I know how busy you are this time of the year. 

Have a good day, everyone!

Good Morning Beakers! It's Caturday!!

      

Speaking of Caturday, new pictures of our kittens!


T40, not used to seeing your post first thing in the morning! Thanks for all the fun videos, cats are so cool!

Lani, yes, you had a very busy day yesterday. Hope you rested well... Cute doggie with the bows!

E4E, hope all is going well for you and Kris and the rest of your family!

Emy, good to see you, so sad to hear about the not-so-good year for the birds. I know they are all very special to you, hoping for a better next year. My sister's partner has 30 something bluebird nests in Oregon that she monitors and sends reports on. Some years just aren't good ones...

Phyl, oh, Ryan O'Neil...I so remember crying at the end of Love Story, he was such a sweetheart...He was also in Bones, as Temperence's Dad. I found this picture of Ryan and Ali McGraw taken in 2016. Love Story was filmed in 1978, 45 years ago...  His life was pretty messed up though: https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/12/08/ryan-oneal-dead/


Lori, prayers for Andria...

oldguy, thanks for the entertainment, Simon's Cat and Maru! I bet you have been busy at work! Good luck at cards tonight!

tsk, fingers crossed and prayers that the mask kept you safe, you do so much with your church at Christmas!

kb, beautiful Gray Owl! Love the snowman in the bathtub!

Lisa, safe travels wherever you are going! Helping Bradley and Kelly move in I suspect!

It was a hard day!

Lisa cute kitty this AM in it's collar of Christmas ornaments

CLynn very realistic kitty of snow--the eyes are amazing

Eagles Rockwellesque 'good night' greeting

Emy  such a terrible year for your local birds. Hope fully next season will be much better. Don't wait so long to stop by and see us.

update on Mama Andria at Kisatchie National Forest Eagle Cam Andria has fallen from the nest and rangers are going to get her at first light this morning... see below...
Prayers for you sweet Andria there is still hope!!!💜


via Tonya Irwin  facebook
E-3:  Andria appeared to be having trouble breathing and also appeared to have another seizure.  She went over the side of the nest.  The rangers will be able to go get her in the morning.  We are heartbroken.  💔
The Rangers will go out at first light to get her.  She has been found on the ground via the canopy cam.  If she is alive, they will bring her to LSU - LSU has already been contacted.

here is a clip of Andria and her mate Alex on December 5th.  Andria just laid 2 eggs in the past week... Alex is busy protecting Andria, the 2 eggs and his territory💜

[kbshcb]

This is in Palos Verdes CA. the writer states Peacocks lounge around the neighborhood...hmm, I had no idea that was the case. I can think of wild turkeys here sitting on vehicles. Wonder what either would do to a paint job on the vehicle?

Lori - terrible news but do keep us posted in case they can retrieve her and help.
I know they don't know what is wrong with her but speculations.
I found this and was surprised, a potential other than lead that causes seizures in eagles..
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/10/191018080612.htm
A virus affecting app. 1/3 of bald eagles...hmm.

clynn - adorable kitties to be!..I forgot the sex of them?..one of each?
Your article on Ryan is paywalled for me.

We were predicted to have an inch of the S word here today....as I look at radar the main part of the system seems to be north and may fizzle?
Wouldn't bother me a bit.

Morning all.

An adorable and curious weasel I believe. I can't tell the difference between a stoat and weasel without the tail visible.
